The Laws of Physics tell me that Supes doing that to a plane would, in fact, probably destroy the plane.

This explains why they spent $5 billion on Kryptonite detectors at all airports.

Not if he gives an opposite equal amount of force on it, then he has to only worry about the plane free falling.DPDarkPrimus wrote:The Laws of Physics tell me that Supes doing that to a plane would, in fact, probably destroy the plane.

How do we know that he didn't gradually slow it down and that it's stopped in that picture?DPDarkPrimus wrote:The Laws of Physics tell me that Supes doing that to a plane would, in fact, probably destroy the plane.

Because it's still in the air...see, there's this thing called "gravity"...IRG CommandoJoe wrote:How do we know that he didn't gradually slow it down and that it's stopped in that picture?DPDarkPrimus wrote:The Laws of Physics tell me that Supes doing that to a plane would, in fact, probably destroy the plane.

Supes can hold it up. I'm sure he's done something similar.Dalton wrote:Because it's still in the air...see, there's this thing called "gravity"...
I'd rather see Spidey doing something though. It's his city, after all.

The comics have him trying and failing IB. Spidey just isn't strong enough to stop something that heavy and that fast.

I stand corrected...

It's physically impossible though. He'd have to hold it up at its center of gravity.InnerBrat wrote:Supes can hold it up. I'm sure he's done something similar.Dalton wrote:Because it's still in the air...see, there's this thing called "gravity"...

Bah...that's why he uses Super-TelekinesisDalton wrote:It's physically impossible though. He'd have to hold it up at its center of gravity.InnerBrat wrote:Supes can hold it up.

.I mean how else does he hold Battleships without them collapsing around him?
Either way, I like the pic anyways.

the creator didn't even get the plane right. That's clearly a 747.Posted: 2004-12-06 10:35am
Technically true, but since Superman can lift a massive portion of a frozen lake by it's edge no more than a foot thick, he's clearly capable of getting around that little obstacle.Dalton wrote:It's physically impossible though.

Well Supes don't care. He has held the Statue of Liberty by the side before, not the center of gravity.Dalton wrote:It's physically impossible though.

If he's giving an equal force of the entire mass of a 787? to the nose of the craft then he's going to push through the nose and at the very least destroy the cockpit.Soontir C'boath wrote:Not if he gives an opposite equal amount of force on it, then he has to only worry about the plane free falling.DPDarkPrimus wrote:The Laws of Physics tell me that Supes doing that to a plane would, in fact, probably destroy the plane.

That's a 747. Does Boeing even make a 787?

I thought the planes in 9-11 were smaller craft than the 747 and I couldn't remember the name though.Rogue 9 wrote:That's a 747. Does Boeing even make a 787?

767.
